BETWEEN IMPACT AND RETURNS: PRIVATE INVESTORS AND THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
2022, Business Strategy and the Environment. Falko Paetzold, Timo Busch, Sebastian Utz, Anne Kellers
We investigate the expectations of wealthy private investors regarding the impact and financial return of sustainable investments. Our paper focuses on the sustainable development goals (SDGs) as a framework for investors’ attempts to create impact. We analyze the behavior of 60 high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), a powerful yet overlooked investor segment. Our results show large allocations in line with the SDGs, which demonstrates these investors’ aim of achieving real-word changes. Furthermore, we show that these "impact investors" have a clear preference for SDGs that are associated with high financial returns. As such, we confirm that both impact and attractive financial returns are expected.
Our findings provide rich, deep insights into how HNWIs practice impact investing and their underlying motivations. We outline practical implications for different stakeholders, notably regarding the fact that financially attractive SDGs are likely to attract substantial amounts of capital, with other SDGs remaining underfunded.

THE STATE OF ESG INVESTING: A PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE
2022, The Journal of Impact and ESG Investing. Stephen M. Horan, Elroy Dimson, Clive Emery, Kenneth Blay and Glen Yelton
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies have experienced a massive inflow of capital over the past decade, despite investors having little concrete evidence that ESG investing accomplishes its purported goals. This capital inflow also happened without investors possessing the information, tools, and methods needed to evaluate and communicate their specific ESG values, objectives, and preferences. Without evidence of efficacy and clearly articulated investment objectives, it is impossible for investors with ESG intent to know whether they are receiving what they are paying for, to distinguish between investment managers based on nonfinancial objectives, and to improve the likelihood of achieving positive ESG investing outcomes. This article highlights the key challenges faced by ESG investors and portfolio managers implementing ESG investment mandates. Recommendations include an issuer reporting framework that supports portfolio reporting and evaluation as well as an ESG product template that focuses on nonfinancial investment objectives, process elements, and measurable outcomes.

This article discusses approaches to the establishment of a sustainable development concept. The authors cite various scientists’ debatable opinions on adapting the English word «sustainability» into Russian language and consider the options for replacing this term. Various researchers’ views on the definition of "sustainable development" are considered. The main sources of the reference base of this category are highlighted. The author investigates the place of sustainable development among other sciences, analyzes its relevance, indicates the motivation for application and highlights the problems of its research. The author also considers the relationship between the magnitude of costs and the effectiveness of sustainability actions. The paper proposes a methodology for building an information map of social investment vectors. Data from the largest corporations representing various sectors of the Russian business community is used for analysis. The companies’ investments are classified into four areas, based on the beneficiary (the company itself or the society) and application (internal or external investment). A correlation model used in the article demonstrates a direct relationship between social investment per employee and net profit volumes. The proposed methodology is relatively simple and universal in application to companies of different profiles and scales of operation. A
